Investigators believe Garcia offered the girl alcohol or marijuana before engaging in sexual contact with her in the parish rectory, his living quarters and other locations, sources told the newspaper.

Since his suspension last year, Garcia reportedly has lived in a private residence and has been banned from visiting any churches or schools.

“These charges are serious and disturbing,” Kenneth Gavin, a spokesman for the Philadelphia Archdiocese, said in a statement. “The Archdiocese is cooperating fully with law enforcement regarding this matter and remains fervently committed to preventing child abuse.”

Garcia is due back in court March 14 for a preliminary hearing, online court records show.

“I don’t know what the evidence is – if they have proof,” Brennan said Tuesday. “We’re going to take it one day at a time and pore over every single sentence of every document and check every frame of every video.”
